The Democratic U.S. Senate Primary in Kentucky Just Got Stranger and Stranger

Strange:According to Louisville media outlets and Ryan Alessi of CN/2 Politics, the Mongiardo campaign is fuming about robo calls going out to Eastern and Western Kentucky.These robocalls, which do not contain a standard disclaimer, imply that Mongiardo is for the cap-and-trade act. Not having a disclaimer on a campaign-related message, I believe, is against Federal Election Law. (These robo calls can be heard on Ryan Alessi’s site.)

Stranger: The Mongiardo campaign did not provide any evidence linking the Conway campaign to these calls.

Strangest:The Conway campaign did not denounce the calls as false, as requested by the Mongiardo campaign.Rather, Allison Haley stated (according to WLKY-TV): “We absolutely had nothing to do with these calls. “
